Getting your kid to bed at night is seriously one of the most challenging things you'll ever have to do. Most kids are just so full of energy that they'll tire you out before they're halfway through their store of energy. An easy thing to calm down your child to get into bed is giving in and allowing some iPad screen time. However, it's really not a great idea, just like you thought.
Researchers at theArizonaStateUniversityconducted a study with 547 kids between the ages of 7 to 9. Their parents tracked how much screen time the kids were allowed along with their sleep patterns. The study found that kids who did not engage in screen time before bed slept for 23 more minutes every week and also went to sleep about 34 minutes earlier than those playing with iPad. Although that might not seem like so much more time, quality of sleep is vastly important in Children's development.
The CDC's (美国疾病控制中心)2018 National Youth Risk Survey outlines that good quality sleep can impact a child's life in many ways, including affecting grades and also weight gain. Students with an "A" average slept for 30 or more minutes per night than those with a "D" or"F" average.
A 2018PennsylvaniaStateUniversitystudy showed that children with irregular bedtimes had a higher risk of having increased body weight. Those with consistent and age-appropriate bedtimes when they were 9 years old had a healthier BMI (体质指数)at age 15 than those with irregular bedtimes.
Hard as it is, it's really important not to give in and hand over an iPad to your child who is about to go to bed. Just like it's important for adults to go to sleep without any distractions, it's even more important for kids.
1. What do the findings of the researchers at theArizonaStateUniversitysuggest?
A. More sleep is necessary for children's development.
B. Enough sleep helps improve academic performances.
C. Screen time before bed leads to later and less sleep.
D. Children sleeping irregularly are easy to gain weight.
2. What is the text mainly about?
A. How is screen time affecting teenagers?
B. What are negative effects of irregular bedtimes?
C. When should you get your kid to bed at night?
D. Why is screen time before bed a bad idea for kids?
3. Who is the text intended for?
A. Parents.
B. Children.
C. Teachers.
D. Researchers.

About a billion birds die from flying into buildings each year inNorth America. Suspicions havebeen that birds may regard the open areas behind glass as safe passageways. Or they may mistake the reflected trees for the real thing.
Researchers would like to reduce collisions, which requires a solid understanding about what makes a bird more or less likely to die by crashing into a building in the first place.
“There was ly little known at a broad scale. Previous studies were at one small study site.'' Jared Elmore, a graduate student in natural resource ecology and management atOklahomaStateUniversity. So he and his colleagues used a previously created data set of building collisions for birds at 40 sites throughoutMexico,Canadaand theU.S.
The first finding was obvious: bigger buildings with more glass kill more birds. But the details were more remarkable. "We found that life history predicted collisions. Migrants(候鸟), insect-eaters and woodland-inhabiting species collided more than their counterparts(同类).”
Most migratory species travel at night, when lights near buildings can distract or disorient(使迷失方向)them. And Elmore thinks that insect-eating birds might be attracted to buildings because their insect prey(猎物)is attracted to the lights. He suspects that woodland species get tooled by the reflections of trees and bushes in the windows. The results are in the journal Conservation Biology.
By understanding which birds are more likely to collide with buildings, researchers can perhaps determine the best way to adapt buildings, or their lighting, to help prevent such accidents. And by knowing risks, along with migration timing and behavior, building managers can better predict when birds are at their greatest danger - and improve lighting strategics accordingly.
Elmore's next project will use radar to help predict bird migrations. " I think that would maybe go a long way in terms of providing information to people, to the public, to building managers, on when they can get the most benefit in terms of lights-out policies."
4. What is the possible reason for birds' crashing into buildings?
A. They didn't see the buildings.
B. They took reflections for reality.
C. They assumed the windows to be open.
D. They considered buildings as safe routes.
5. What is Jared Elmore's study different from the previous ones?
A. It created a new data set.
B. It went beyond national borders.
C. It covered a wider range of sites.
D. I’ll studied some specific bird species.
6. What was the most noticeable finding of Jared Elmore's study?
A. Migratory species travel at night.
B. Birds tend to be misled by glasses.
C. Bigger buildings cause more collisions.
D. Birds living habits give rise to collisions.
7. Which of the following can help reduce bird collision?
A. Adjust the lightening system.
B. Attach radars to each building.
C. Adopt strict lights-out policies.
D. Ban using glasses on buildings.
C
Jules Verne was born on 8 February1828 inthe French city of Nantes. From an early age, he had a fascination with exploration and discovery. When he was six, his teacher, Madame Sambin, told him stories about her husband, who disappeared while traveling the world on a ship 30 years before. She told her class that he was like Robinson Crusoe, a fictional castaway who lived on a desert island. Verne would later write stories about similar characters.
In 1847, Verne was sent by his family to study law at a university in Paris, but he preferred to write novels, poems and plays. After graduating, he realized he wanted to write adventure stories based on science and technology.Thishad never been done before, but Verne was sure that it would be a success. His first story, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was published in September 1862. His career lasted for more than 40 years, during which time he wrote more than 60 gripping stories.
To begin with, Verne wrote positive and optimistic books. Many of these were to be his most popular creations. Although some included fantastical elements, they were usually based in scientific fact, making them believable. These happy stories weren’t to last. As he got older, Verne became less confident in the idea that science and technology were always good for the planet. His books started to include more scientists who used technology for their own-sometimes evil - purposes. Verne died on 24 March 1905, but new books continued to be published until 1919. These stories were based on ideas Verne had written about while he was still alive, but featured new characters and plots created by his son, Michel.
In the 20th century, his books were translated into more than 140 languages and several successful film versions were released. His creations have been recognized as an inspiration for many scientists and inventors. Many of the futuristic ideas from his most popular books have since come true.
8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A To show Verne’s discovery.
B. To offer the background information of Verne.
C. To tell of the adventure of Sambin’s husband.
D. To explain how Verne began his writing career.
9. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in Paragraph 2:
A. Writing novels, poems and plays.
B. Studying law.
C. Graduating from university.
D. Wring adventure stories.
10. What can be learned about Verne’s late works?
A. They covered happy elements.
B. They were unbelievable stories.
C. They revealed Verne’s doubt on science.
D. They were partly written by Berne’s son.
11. Which of the following best describes Verne?
A. Talented and productive.
B. Popular and caring.
C. Optimistic and generous.
D. Friendly and honest.
D
When girls play with cars, they're serious. It was at primary school that Gu Huijing first became interested in cars after watching some car-themed movies. Born in2004 inShenzhen, Guangdong province, Gu decided to major in automobiles (汽车) when she was in junior high.
She's driven by interest, but she is also a realist. “I think the future of the automobile industry is bright because we cannot live without food, clothes, houses and cars,” she said.
In April, she won first prize at a competition for vehicle maintenance (车辆维修) in Dongguan city, which drew 33 teams from different cities across the province.
“I thought it couldn't be that hard to repair cars when I started to take courses, but I was totally wrong,” Gu said. When she started learning in 2019, she was frequently confused by various problems. “And competition within our school is intense, so I had to work extra hard,” she said.
Her teacher once tried to persuade her to give up as she was a sophomore (大二学生), and wasn't as knowledgeable as the seniors, and no women had ever been selected for the competition before. “But I insisted that I would carry on,” she said. Finally, her training and hard work won her the only place to stand for her school at the competition.
A woman winning first prize in a vehicle maintenance competition became a hot topic on-line, causing heated discussions over gender (性别) and career choices. “Women should not be influenced by old-fashioned thinking, and should do whatever it takes to discover their interests and strengths. There are more possibilities out there,” one netizen wrote.
Gu said, “Many people think vehicle maintenance is a job for men. That's wrong. I don't think gender has anything to do with choice of jobs.” “I have a goal and I will work harder to make it happen,” she added. “I will be responsible for my choices.”
12. What was a cause of Gu's choosing automobiles as her major?
A. The love for automobiles.
B. The guidance from her parents.
C. The high popularity of automobiles.
D. The determination to contribute to society.
13. Why did Gu's teacher advise her to quit the competition?
A. She lacked the knowledge related to it.
B. She had never taken part in a competition before.
C. She was unlikely to win the competition.
D. Women were not allowed to enter the competition.
14. Which of the following best describes Gu Huijing?
A. Creative and caring.
B. Determined and hard-working.
C. Independent and humorous.
D. Honest and courageous.
15. What would be the best title for the text?
A. There Is No End To Learning
B. Teenage Girl Wins Car Repair Contest
C. Vehicle Maintenance Catches On
D. Taking Challenge Leads To Success

I think there should be a specially festival for teenagers in China calling Teenager Volunteer Day. As it is known to all, most teenagers in China are bring up as the only child in the family. Usually given too much care and attention, you are likely to take everything for granted. In Teenager Volunteer Day, teenagers are encouraged to do voluntary works wherever they are needed. They may help to raise money for those which suffer from a serious disease, go to a nursing home to do what is good for the elderly or collecting books for children in poor areas. The more voluntary work they do, more considerate and responsible they will be.
